Jamie Spears temporary authority over Britney Spears affairs was scheduled to end on March 10th. A lot of people started fearing that the fallen pop star might revert to her old ways but fear not. An LA court commissioner has extended Poppa Spears’ rule over his daughter’s estate until July 31st last Wednesday. Hallelujah! The five month extension is a very good thing in my opinion. Britney seems to be doing so much better these days that she’s able to see her kids again. By the time the deadline comes in, there’s a big chance that she’ll be back to the Britney the world fell in love with.

A formal charge has been made in connection with Mischa Barton’s arrest in West Hollywood back in December 2007. She is being charged with possessing 28.5 grams of marijuana, driving under the influence, and driving without a license.

She will be arraigned on February 28 at a Beverly Hills courthouse. She is not required to attend this hearing.

The Sun has really brought a lot of trouble to Amy Winehouse by printing those pictures of her smoking crack. Scotland Yard has started an investigation against the ‘Rehab’ singer on Wednesday. The British authorities are reportedly looking at the video of Wino allegedly smoking crack and snorting cocaine, trying to decide whether to pursue criminal charges against her. Even if they do press charges, she’d probably just get away with a slap on the wrist. Just look at how many chances the UK courts have given perpetual screw up Pete Doherty. He’d get punished hard first before they do Amy.

After all the drama that Britney Spears has pulled, any hopes of her getting her kids back are now even slimmer, probably even gone. The Commissioner has just ruled that the pop wreck will not have visitation restored. At the very least, until the next custody hearing on February 19.

The order came after hearing the testimony of several people including LAPD cops who responded to the “hostage” incident last Thursday, parenting coach Lisa Hacker, bodyguard Lonnie Jones and court monitor Pamela Strong. KFed’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan also testified, most likely against Britney. Heck, everyone’s testimony was likely to be against Brit.

It’s been no secret that KFed’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan is seeking for sanctions regarding Britney Spears not attending her deposition last week. Now, it’s being reported that Kaplan will ask Commissioner Scott Gordon to delay a hearing next month where the pop wreck will ask to restore some of her custody rights. Kaplan is reportedly going to ask if that hearing can be put off until April.

Brit’s lawyer will show up at the hearing this week and oppose Kaplan’s move. But Kaplan has a strong chance of succeeding especially if he points out that Britney was out and about on the night of her supposed deposition.

Just hours after missing a court ordered deposition on Wednesday, Britney was apparently feeling well enough to head out to town with a friend. But she wasn’t as up to taking the friend home with her.Britney and a pal headed out to a gas station in Los Angeles around 2 a.m. Thursday morning. She mugged for some photos, saying, “Stop taking pictures of me. I’m ugly right now.”

Then, she left the gas station - sans her friend. The unidentified female was left with the paparazzi, all the while listening to them say, “Don’t worry, Britney’s coming back.”

She did return eventually. So far, no comments about her actions. Umm, and this girl wants her kids???

After about a year of Mark Vincent Kaplan pushing for Britney Spears to have a deposition and testify under oath, sources are saying that the pop wreck is defying the legal process and has decided not to attend her deposition.

But a source directly in contact with Britney says that “There’s a million people outside her house. She can see all the other madness. The anxiety is making her sick. It’s just too crazy.” That’s not going to be accepted in court!

Britney’s deposition hasn’t been rescheduled as of yet but KFed’s attorney did say that he will be seeking some sort of relief from the court.
